Next time

Departure

Ease back pressure in smoothly as you approach 70 kt, holding a steady rotation rate rather than snatching the controls.

What happened: On the takeoff roll the aircraft bounced before becoming fully airborne.

Watch for: Attitude indicator: a smooth, continuous pitch-up through liftoff with no secondary bounce.

See Departure Roll

Bank angle in the pattern is conventionally kept to 20 to 30 degrees, and the base-to-final turn is where that convention earns its keep. Stall speed rises with bank because the wing must produce more lift in a turn. Roughly 7 per cent higher at 30 degrees, about 19 per cent at 45, and around 40 per cent at 60. At 65 kt on base you don't have much margin to spend steepening a turn to salvage an overshoot.

Flight narrative

The flight began with a departure roll from runway 23 at EGPE Inverness Airport. The DA40-NG aircraft took off with a takeoff distance of 294 meters, which is 16% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 69 knots. At the time of departure, the local weather conditions were recorded as a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius, a wind speed of 2 knots at 270 degrees, resulting in a headwind of 2 knots and a crosswind of 1 knot.

Following a successful takeoff, the pilot began a right-hand pattern entry from runway 23. The distance covered in this phase of the flight was 5 nautical miles, achieved in 27 seconds. This was followed by another right-hand pattern with a crosswind, where the distance was less than 1 nautical mile and achieved in 17 seconds.

The flight then proceeded with a pattern downwind turn, which involved a turn of 45 degrees with an angle to runway of 20.1 degrees. The total distance covered during this phase was 5 nautical miles. Subsequently, the pilot flew the downwind leg of the pattern, covering a distance of 4 nautical miles in 168 seconds.

Next, the pilot conducted the base leg turn, which involved a turn of 45 degrees with an angle to runway of 101.9 degrees. The distance covered in this phase was approximately 1 nautical mile. The pilot then flew the base leg, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile in 26 seconds.

Following the base leg, the pilot completed the final turn, which was also less than 1 nautical mile in 31 seconds. The flight then proceeded with a final approach to runway 23 from the north-east, with the aircraft at 0 nautical miles and 167 feet above ground level.

Upon landing, the pilot touched down on runway 23 at EGPE Inverness Airport. The runway length was 1,814 meters, and the local weather conditions remained the same as during takeoff. The landing distance was 366 meters, and the touchdown speed was 56 knots, both of which were recorded as good. The touchdown rate was smooth at -106 feet per minute, and the runway touchscreen alignment was very good.

The total flight distance was 19 nautical miles, which was covered in 11 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 2 kilograms of fuel during the flight.

Landing on runway 23 at EGPE Inverness Airport in the Diamond DA40
Landing Score 98.2 %
Landing Summary

The DA40-NG aircraft successfully landed on runway 23 at EGPE Inverness Airport with a score of 98.2%, indicating an exceptionally smooth and controlled operation. The pilot executed a final approach from the north east, aligning with a heading of 229.0° at 0 nm (nautical miles) and 167 ft (feet) above ground level. This demonstrated an accurate and precise maneuver, setting the aircraft up for a smooth touchdown.

The landing itself was equally impressive, with a threshold height at 56 ft agl (above ground level) that was slightly above the target. This minor deviation did not significantly impact the overall performance of the landing. Moreover, the threshold speed of 68 kt (knots) was ideal, ensuring the aircraft had sufficient kinetic energy to safely touch down on the runway.

The touchdown distance of 366 m was satisfactory, indicating that the pilot had maintained control and executed a gentle, consistent descent. The touchdown speed of 56 kt was also within acceptable limits, further emphasizing the pilot's expertise in managing the aircraft's speed. The descent rate of -106 fpm (feet per minute) was impressive, showcasing a smooth and controlled touch down.

One of the most commendable aspects of this landing was the alignment of the aircraft on the runway at touch down, which was rated as "very good". This suggests that the pilot had a clear visual awareness of the runway and its surroundings, allowing for a precision approach and landing.

Despite the relatively calm weather conditions, the pilot had to contend with a gentle wind of 2 kt at 270°. However, this did not pose a significant challenge, with a crosswind component of only 1 kt and a headwind of 2 kt. The overall weather was cool, with a temperature of 15 °C, and clear enough to allow for a visual approach, which likely contributed to the smooth execution of the landing.
